ETYM Latin dimensio, from dimensus, p. p. of dimetiri to measure out; di- = dis- + metiri to measure: cf. French dimension. Related to Measure.
1. A measure of the size of something in a particular direction, esp. length or width or height.
2. One of three coordinates that determine a position in space.r /> In science, any directly measurable physical quantity such as mass (M), length (L), and time (T), and the derived units obtainable by multiplication or division from such quantities.
For example, acceleration (the rate of change of velocity) has dimensions (LT-2), and is expressed in such units as km s-2. A quantity that is a ratio, such as relative density or humidity, is dimensionless.
In geometry, the dimensions of a figure are the number of measures needed to specify its size. A point is considered to have zero dimension, a line to have one dimension, a plane figure to have two, and a solid body to have three. + prikaži više

(Irregular plural: masses).
1. A large body of matter without definite shape.
2. An ill-structured collection of similar things (objects or people).

ETYM French, from Latin volumen a roll of writing, a book, volume, from volvere, volutum, to roll. Related to Voluble.
In geometry, the space occupied by a three-dimensional solid object. A prism (such as a cube) or a cylinder has a volume equal to the area of the base multiplied by the height. For a pyramid or cone, the volume is equal to one-third of the area of the base multiplied by the perpendicular height. The volume of a sphere is equal to 4/3 x pr3, where r is the radius. Volumes of irregular solids may be calculated by the technique of integration.
1. A publication that is one of a set of several similar publications.
2. A relative amount.
3. The amount of 3-dimensional space occupied by an object.
4. The magnitude of sound (usually in a specified direction); SYN. loudness, intensity. + prikaži više
